Revisiting Your Goals & More – Episode 2111

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2111 – On this special Friday show, Anna Vocino joins Vinnie, and the two talk about revisiting your goals, our previous shows, BS keto products, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

REVISITING YOUR GOALS

  • Vinnie likes to set several new goals each year.
  • He likes to be able to achieve things.
  • Because of that, he makes sure his goals are achievable and he does his best to stick to them.
    • This year, one of those goals was to learn how to build his own boat.
    • His other goal is that he’ll do at least 365 hours of cardio this year.
      • Each time he does cardio, he keeps time on his watch.
      • On day 143 of the year, he’s over 170 hours of cardio.
        • He’s doing this because some days he won’t be able to exercise, so front-loading helps.
  • It’s important to keep your goals going in the right direction.
  • Now’s a good time to revisit your goals.

  • We have recently aired our first-ever episode again.

Bad Diet Fads & More – Episode 2099

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2099 – On this Monday show, Anna Vocino and Vinnie Tortorich talk Slow Horses, Minnie Driver, bad diet fads and unhealthy ‘health products,’ old-school gyms and the ‘roid’ look, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BAD DIET FADS

  • There are lots of diet fads that are just money makers for their proprietors.
  • They don’t work – they’re selling crap.
  • Lots of products are marketed as healthy or ‘keto,’ but they’re filled with crap and sweeteners.
    • This is true of many vitamins and supplement products, too.
      • And those are probably filled with seed oils.
  • Try to avoid anything that seems too good to be true, or is just temporary.
  • There aren’t shortcuts, and real, whole food is always better.
  • You also shouldn’t have to pay extra to adapt to a new lifestyle.

OLD-SCHOOL GYMS

  • Vinnie used to go to some pretty old-school gyms and prefers finding gyms like this if he can.
  • Lots of the guys were body-builder types.
  • They’d try to sell PEDs to one another!
  • Anna sees a super roided-up guy at her gym pretty often.
    • And the other day, we were talking about eating quinoa. Of course!

Packaged Keto Food Ingredients – Episode 2075

by Vinnie Tortorich

 Episode 2075: On this Wednesday’s show, Andy Schreiber and Vinnie Tortorich talk packaged keto food ingredients, grocery store “real estate,” and more.
 

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

PACKAGED KETO FOOD INGREDIENTS

• The show opens up with Vinnie frustrated by a common theme in recent consults. People have been telling him that they have started buying packaged “keto foods” yet can’t figure out why their success has waned.
• Ingredients like arrowroot and cassava flours, potato and tapioca starches, konjac, and others are not grains but are often used in “keto” processed foods. They are all starches, which behave in your body like sugar. Vinnie says to stay away from them.
• Similar issues are happening with other natural sugars like molasses, agave nectar, honey, and others—the body treats all sugars the same.
• Many of the “keto health foods” at ExpoWest are filled with these types of ingredients and are therefore *not* NSNG®.

GROCERY STORE REAL ESTATE

• Food manufacturers buy up “real estate” in grocery stores for specific placement to encourage more sales. It’s all planned and part of marketing and sales.
• Vinnie and Andy discuss a few previous advertising campaigns about food, and also the strategy of packaging and placement in stores.
• The best way to shop for food at the grocery store is to stay along the outer aisles, as that’s where items like fresh produce and dairy are usually placed.

Body Weight Strength Training with Jerry Teixeira – Episode 2016

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 2016 – On this Friday show, Jerry Teixeira joins Vinnie and the two talk body weight strength training, the importance of resistance training, bro science BS, avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

BODY WEIGHT STRENGTH TRAINING

  • Jerry has been on the show before.
  • He is a body weight strength trainer.
  • Since 2010, he has been pretty low carb.
  • Normally, he’s around 75 grams a day.
  • He doesn’t feel that he builds muscle better when he is medium carb vs. low carb.
  • Resistance training plus adequate protein is what you need for muscle mass.
  • You have to want to be healthier — and to exercise, you have to make yourself do something you might not want to do.
    • It’s easier when you don’t need a gym…
  • His focus is on gaining muscle and getting fit without a gym.
    • He knew when he had his second child he wouldn’t have time to go to the gym and didn’t want to get the equipment.
    • He fell in love with the minimalist approach!
  • Jerry recommends a pull up bar and gymnastics rings for your at-home equipment.
    • You can use these for rowing, for example.
  • It’s so important to get away from a sedentary lifestyle.
    • His exercise style, which he details, just gets you on your feet — and that’s most important.
    • He has lots of videos on YouTube, too.
  • Start with two days a week, and go from there.

THE GYM BRO

  • Nowadays, many go to the gym and spend a lot of time sitting there.
  • That might be fine, but they’re also consuming junk while they do it.
  • Things like pre-workout and others are full of sugar and completely worthless, anyway!
  • Products like this are targeted toward the ‘gym bro.’ Don’t fall for it.
    • Simply put, it’s just a type of bro science.
  • For most people, you don’t need to take a lot of creatine (if any) if you eat animal proteins.
    • Vinnie doesn’t take any and JT doesn’t think everyone should.

Healthy Meat with Diana Rodgers – Episode 1926

by Vinnie Tortorich

Episode 1926 – On this Friday show, registered dietician Diana Rodgers joins Vinnie to discuss her book and movie, Sacred Cow, elitism and meat, healthy meat, the dangers of veganism, the moderation myth, and more.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

SACRED COW

  • Diana has been on the show before.
  • She is a registered dietician!
  • Additionally, she’s working on the Global Food Justice Alliance.
    • She’s trying to make sure that meat and the like stays in diets.
  • Check out her book and film under the name Sacred Cow.
  • Diana is trying to combat the elitism against meat.
    • Not only is meat healthy, but pulling meat away from people is privileged.

HEALTHY MEAT

  • These days, to say meat is healthy is nearly blasphemous.
  • The fact of the matter — meat IS good for you.
  • And, meat is accessible to most.
  • Meanwhile, meat substitutes are expensive and inaccessible.
  • Beef is the least of the evils when it comes to meet.
  • Many studies that present results counter to this are funded by companies like Barilla.
    • And, the researchers don’t report this crazy conflict of interest.
